International shipping is relatively expensive.

In the past, I have used USPS's Large Flat Rate Box which is about 12x12x6 and the cost was about $75USD.

I shipped some parts to Paul in a flat rate envelope and IIRC, it was about $15USD.  The package weighted a couple of ounces.

While true that international shipping can be expensive, I've seen wildly different shipping quotes that lead me to believe some try to profit from the shipping or handling.

I'm sure some sellers use the shipping cost to ensure they get a minimum price for their items, but I doubt this works all that well.

One thing I do know is that a seller's shipping cost can vary quite a bit depending how one manages the shipping. If you ship USPS using eBay's shipping services, the discount is something like 30% less than USPS retail price.

Sure high shipping.

I once had to ship a laptop to Argentina. $750 minimum from UPS. Others were more. Now, with policy changes in the USA, shipping is getting more complicated.

Hello

I think this "An Inside View of OS/2 - Datapro Market Study, 1988" will be fun to read.

Steven Reed, the author if this software (OS/2 Blackjack and Poker) was at Warpstock 2022.

It is very possible that he is the one selling these boxes, because he used to have stock.

450 USD for Visual Age C++ 3.0?
That quite a fantasy price. :D

should be more like this.... Not version 3.0 but version 4.0 for AIX and x86 for 200 USD. https://www.ebay.de/itm/167930366486

But all this is wayy to expensive. I got my copy for 40 USD five years ago. Considering nobody would ever make money with this anymore. So why would it be an expensive software still? This is nothing more but a relic of the past. If you'd like to actually develop for OS/2 or Windows NT, you could use OpenWatcom, which is free of charge.

Anyway.. I'd advise to wait until this software is available again for a decent price. This is not for production anymore, but rather a museum pice.
